Save the Date: Pain Management  and End-of-Life
Care in California’s Regulatory Environment
[Posted 05/19/05]

The next presentation of CMA’s pain management and end of life conference will be September 9-10 in San Francisco. The practical, two-day CME program completely fulfills California’s AB 487 mandate, which requires physicians to complete 12 Category I CME hours in pain medicine and end-of-life care before the end of 2006.

The program, tailored by CMA to meet the needs of physicians who do not specialize in pain medicine, has received rave reviews from past attendees. In the words of one physician, “I came here because I had to; it was legislated. So I had an attitude that it was a bit like traffic school. Instead, I was informed, challenged, and even inspired.”

For those who can’t make the September meeting, the program will be repeated three times in 2006: January 6-7 and again December 1-2 at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim and September 8-9 in San Francisco.

The program is presented by CMA and the CMA Foundation.
